Oh, and I also need to find some time to apologize to Miss Qingxue.
Secondly, the social subsidies will be updated next month, which is great news for her. Oh, and there's also the opening ceremony of the Academy Witch Duel Selection Tournament.
Overall, the future looks promising, and things are much better than when I first arrived in this world.
Jiang Kehan drew a smiley face in her diary as a final summary. She put down her pen and found that she would be very busy for the next period of time, which she found a little unbelievable.
Knock, knock, knock. Someone is knocking on the door.
Jiang Kehan walked over excitedly, opened the door and found a winged centaur lady, who, according to the witch's naming, could also be called a Pegasus.
The other person was very burly and tall; he had to bend over to knock on the door. He looked very energetic, and his wings stretched out from his horse's back like the wings of an angel.
"Oh, Miss, your spell and spatial bracelet have arrived. And please give me the slime jelly you need to give away."
Jiang Kehan stared at the other person in amazement. She could barely reach the other person's stomach. Those thighs, those muscles, were full of wild power. She dared to swear that if the other person kicked her, she would probably make the other person beg her not to die.
This was a woman more capable than her. Looking at the sign hanging on the other woman's chest, she realized that the other woman was just an ordinary deliveryman.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Jiang Kehan took out the slime jelly from the bottle and handed it to the other person, but the way she stood on tiptoe made the other person laugh kindly.
The other person reached out and took the jelly, then took two metal boxes from their back and handed them to Jiang Kehan, speaking with a hearty laugh.
"Haha, thank you so much, little guy. Have a great time learning!"
After saying that, she spread her wings, causing the surrounding trees to scatter and their branches to touch the ground.
Jiang Kehan leaned against the door, straining to look out. The other person wasn't flying, but rather running in the sky, their hooves moving rapidly, while their wings maintained an invisible path, allowing them to freely traverse the sky to go anywhere.
"So cool!" Jiang Kehan had a disrespectful thought in her mind. She wondered what it would feel like to ride it. "It's definitely more fun than any Akhal-Teke horse!"
Jiang Kehan secretly added this idea to her list of things she absolutely had to try in her lifetime, her eyes shining as she looked at the two metal boxes.
She bought a total of 6 spells this time, spending nearly 300 witch gold, which can be described as going all out.
But it was worth it. Jiang Kehan placed the two metal boxes on the desk and opened them, revealing five familiar test tubes and a strange fruit inside.
The Detection Spell Tracking allows you to locate an opponent directly by following their marks. However, it is only effective against creatures slightly weaker than yourself and is a commonly used level 1 spell in hunting.
The protective spell, Fire Resistance Ring, not only blows away enemies surrounding you, but also resists a certain degree of attack. You can even control the direction of the burst, propelling yourself forward like a rocket, combining short-distance displacement.
General Spells - Spell Power: This spell can materialize intangible magic, with the precision and power adjustable at will. It is a very useful spell for both alchemy and everyday life.
The general spell, Tranquility, can clear the mind and maintain peace and joy, making it a great aid for accelerating learning. When used on other races, it can detach them from their thoughts and even make their souls no longer belong to the world for a period of time. Although it does not cause harm, it is extremely addictive, like taking ice, and can be used in many unorthodox ways.
General Spell: Disguise Flight. This spell is somewhat like flying on a sword. By using items such as shoes, one can achieve levitation. With this spell, if she forgets to bring her witch's broom next time, she can fly back on her own, albeit at a slow and suave speed.
All five spells belong to the Arcane school, while the last one, the Strange Fruit, is a spell from the Origin school.
The Origin faction is peculiar; unlike the Almighty, it does not attempt to exploit or become the truth. Instead, it chooses a path that is nominally "borrowed," but in reality, it is equivalent to copying or plundering.
The one most skilled in this faction is Lilith Adwick, the Great Leader of the America Empire and second in rank at the Great Council.
She described it this way: "Whether it is the gods or the world, they are all the origin, and you and I are the agents who steal, use, or even occupy the other and then go against the current. Of course, we might as well try using it first."
Jiang Kehan carefully held the fruit in her arms, gently stroking the green "apple" covered with scars, her gaze resolute.
This spell is called "Enemy and Ally Share the Same Origin." Its effect is simple: it forcibly lowers the health of both parties to the same level, while granting immunity to all damage except physical damage. It is also known as the "Forced Duel" and "Get Beaten Up" spell.
Moreover, since the spell's effectiveness is determined by whether the caster's magic power can negate the opponent's magic power, it only takes effect when the caster's magic power overwhelms the opponent's. For a witch, this is not just adding unnecessary details.
If you can overwhelm your opponent with magic, why do you still need to rely on this method that relies almost entirely on willpower to win?
However, this was the only spell Jiang Kehan could think of to quickly enhance her strength. As for suffering, it was just an excuse to be discarded after she stood up.
Chapter 30: We and the enemy share the same origin
Due to the unique nature of the Origin faction, this fruit cannot be taken directly like a test tube potion; preparation is required.
Jiang Kehan input her magic power into the terminal and quietly looked at the magic power test value, which was 301.
It has increased again compared to a few days ago, and has even broken through the Little Witch's magical limits.
She stared at it for a long time before closing the terminal, shutting her eyes, and gently biting her lip, gathering her emotions.
To be honest, Jiang Kehan envied normal witches. They didn't have any inexplicable urgency or need to put pressure on themselves, but this only made her yearn for it more.
She longs for a normal life, for true freedom, for... to be able to follow her own heart, instead of feeling guilty every time she makes a friend!
So, it was time to take it. When her emotions reached their peak, she opened her eyes, expressionless, and poured her magic into the fruit, facing the "god" residing within it.
The so-called origin cannot avoid confronting the other party directly. The witch never steals power in petty ways, but rather mocks and demonstrates to the other party how to use their power to reach heights that the other party cannot reach.
Jiang Kehan bit the fruit, pit and all, and in a daze, she saw a dark green tree residing on a planet.
He is higher than the planets, yet he is confined to this place by the planets, unable to reach the more brilliant starry sky, as if revealing to Jiang Kehan the limitation of enemies and friends sharing the same origin.
Jiang Kehan could feel the resentment and wailing coming from the other person, but at this moment, she smiled.
The magic-coveted fruit, wrapped around the swallowed fruit, coiled around it like several snakes, then tore and devoured it.
Suddenly, she felt an inexplicable pressure pressing down on her soul. This was the difficulty of taking the Origin faction's potion: you have to conquer it and then destroy it.
The pent-up discontent, anxiety, and rage, along with his thoughts, surged towards this pressure like a tide, approaching step by step with an oppressive aura, as if the sky were collapsing.
Jiang Kehan didn't care what the other person's story or resentment was; all she knew was that she longed for power, freedom, and... self-redemption.
All who stand in her way are her enemies, and for this, she is willing to abandon everything to fight them until her own death.
The fruit in her mouth gradually began to melt, but Jiang Kehan stuffed the rest of the fruit into her mouth in one go.
She was gradually enveloped by negative emotions, and her witch nature began to emerge. She wanted to vent all her suppressed emotions. Now, she could even hope that the other party could put more pressure on her so that she could fight to her heart's content.
Jiang Kehan seemed to see her own flesh being peeled away, and she could also see her opponent's limbs being broken by her. Their lives were gradually divided in two by the scales, leaving only the most cruel duel.
She began to tremble slightly, feeling the pain in her body, and tears welled up in her eyes, ready to flow instinctively.
But she did not give up, gritting her teeth and enduring pain she had never experienced before, as if she wanted to etch this memory into her very bones.
In her hallucination, she had abandoned reason and began to tear at him with her teeth, scrape him with her bones, and scream with all her might, laughing as she destroyed this coward.
She had won. Jiang Kehan wiped away her tears, held her breath, and felt the trembling magic model remaining in her body, not daring to move.
The magical duel tore her body apart, making even breathing feel like being slashed by a knife. Fortunately, the witch herself was powerful, and her injuries were healing rapidly.
"call."
Jiang Kehan sat stiffly for a long time before daring to exhale, her voice somewhat hoarse.
"No wonder the learning process is described as being like being slowly sliced to death. I was wondering why it could be so painful."
She looked at the remaining bottled potions, silently put them back in the metal box and closed it; she needed to calm down.
Jiang Kehan, you are truly remarkable. You actually managed to persevere. After regaining her composure, she jokingly thought to herself, as the accumulated grievances and helplessness began to dissipate, like encountering the dawn sunlight, with the dark clouds being blown away by the wind and drifting to who-knows-where.
She took out her diary and wrote: "Next time you take an Origin faction potion, remember to prepare a piece of candy."
She chuckled at her own humor, took her witch's hat from the coat rack, put it on her head to tame her slightly messy hair, and headed to the classroom for class.
This time, she didn't forget to bring the broom with her newly bought smart bracelet.
The academy's classrooms are not located in one building, but are distributed in different areas of the academy's floating island. Each classroom is the size of a normal theater. Jiang Kehan went to the classroom that was dedicated to telling the history of witches. She could hear about the deeds of the great witches there. This information could not be found in the terminal and was very valuable to her.
She arrived a little early; the classroom only had a few scattered little witches and other witches auditing the class, and the teacher had not yet arrived.
The Witch Academy doesn't care whether the attendees are students or not; any witch can come and listen to the lectures. And these slightly gossipy classes are often the ones with the most auditors.
You can even see some witches carrying sunflower seeds and popcorn, very well prepared. If there were cola in this world, everyone might have a cup.
Jiang Kehan found a seat near the front. The witch didn't have the habit of taking attendance during class, so it was easier to hear the lesson from the front. Basically, the teacher didn't care whether you understood the lesson or not.
After all, the exam that the little witch needs to pass is called the A1 Witch's Certificate, which mainly tests witch common sense and some basic spells, and does not involve witch history. It only needs to ensure that the witch can live independently.
The A1 Witch's Certificate is somewhat like an ID card among witches. It not only signifies that a witch has officially entered the witch stage, but also that she possesses full citizenship and rights. It is the true beginning of entering witch society and the main direction that witch trainees strive for.
However, witches' magic is actually very complex. Even witches with amazing talent are used to learning with the help of potions. For other races, drinking potions is basically suicide, so only a few true geniuses can pass the test.
Moreover, without the A1 Witch's Proof, not only will the purchase of spells and other transactions be restricted, but one will also be unable to go to some high-risk places, making it both a form of protection and surveillance.
But for someone like Jiang Kehan, who first transforms into a witch and then takes extra classes, A1 is almost no challenge.
She was patiently waiting for the teacher to arrive. As time went by, more and more witches sat down here, and some aliens who had paid for auditing passes also found corner seats. They were much nicer than the witches, each with a notebook in hand.
However, when class time arrived, the original teacher did not appear; instead, a witch wearing a trench coat and with her hands in her pockets showed up.
She was very tall, estimated to be over 1.75m, with long hair cascading down her shoulders. Beneath her firm, prominent breasts, her waist was exceptionally slender, almost the size of a palm, while her legs were straight and muscular. She was a very cool and sassy witch.
Gu Qingci walked to the podium and casually glanced around. Jiang Kehan felt as if a knife was held to her throat. The witches carrying food swallowed what was in their mouths and obediently put their hands down.
"I am Gu Qingci. I am here to teach your class today. I hope you don't mind."
After Gu Qingci finished speaking, he casually pointed to the witch and smiled.
"As compensation for my intrusion, how about I give you a staff if you answer my question correctly?"
Jiang Kehan opened her mouth slightly, suddenly regretting sitting in front. The other person seemed much harder to fool than her previous teacher.
As expected, Gu Qingci did not only call on one witch. Even if she was from another race, she did not hesitate to ask her to stand up and answer. However, she was very magnanimous.
More than ten witches and aliens, including Jiang Kehan, received rewards worth more than 10 witch gold coins, but apart from the aliens, the witches were all sweating profusely.
I came here to listen to stories, how did it turn into suffering?
Whether there's a reward or not is a minor matter. For the witches, the embarrassment of not being able to answer is enough to make them write Gu Qingci's name down in their notebooks.
But Gu Qingci's attitude was clear: she had enough power to not care about these things and was somewhat self-willed.
Chapter 31 The Legendary King of Sanya
After the class, Jiang Kehan felt like she was back in high school. Even after class ended, she still avoided looking at Gu Qingci.
Jiang Kehan felt as if she could see her senior year homeroom teacher staring at her from behind the other person. Dead memories began to assault her brain, making her feel like crying but unable to shed a tear.
Forget about ghosts haunting me, I don't want that!
However, Gu Qingci was indeed very capable. Jiang Kehan searched the academy channel and found that he was actually a specially invited teacher of the academy.
The Witch Academy is a semi-public organization. In addition to the regular teachers, some well-known witches also work part-time, and the specially invited teachers are the best among them.
It can be called the king of part-time jobs, and it is basically linked to the academy's foundation. It is a powerful tool to attract other witches to send their children over.
As Jiang Kehan continued to scroll down, she discovered that Gu Qingci had a very long list of titles.
Uncrowned champion of the Pingjiang City Witch Qualifying Tournament, three-time runner-up in the city-level Witch Duel Tournament, and captain of the city-level official team.
The magician, hailed as a miracle, possesses an extremely high spellcasting speed and rhythm, and can even withstand several rounds from the Great Witch.
The Witch Duel has four levels of competition. The preliminary round for the Little Witches is the goal of the academy teams managed by Ariel.
